How many times   Have you heard someone say   "If I had his money   I'd do things my way"      How little they know   That it's so hard to find   One rich man in a hundred   With a satisfied mind      Once I was living   In fortune and fame   And everything I could dream of   To get a start in life's game      And suddenly it happened   I lost every dime   But I'm richer by far   With a satisfied mind      No money can buy back   Your youth when you're old   Or a friend when you're lonely   Or a heart that's grown cold      And the world's richest man   Is a pauper at times   Compared to the man   With a satisfied mind      When my life is over   And my time has run out   My friends and my loved ones   I'll leave, there's no doubt      But there's one thing for certain   When it comes, my time   I'll leave this old world   With a satisfied mind      I'll leave this old world   With a satisfied mind
